David Cullinane: Is it five minutes that I have?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Competitiveness and Economic Growth: National Competitiveness Council (14 Feb 2017)
David Cullinane: I would prefer to converse over and back with Professor Clinch. It is the way I operate because I find it easier. I will first deal with some of the five key areas Professor Clinch has highlighted. He states in the first one that we need to ensure our fiscal position remains sustainable, which we would obviously all agree with. He then goes on to say we should avoid any narrowing of the...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Competitiveness and Economic Growth: National Competitiveness Council (14 Feb 2017)
David Cullinane: I will just come back to the question I asked because we have a responsibility to scrutinise budgetary policy.

With one in five workers in low paid jobs, does the...

David Cullinane: Can Professor Clinch give us some examples of those economies?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Competitiveness and Economic Growth: National Competitiveness Council (14 Feb 2017)
David Cullinane: My last question relates to capital investment. I do not think it will come as a surprise to Professor Clinch that I fully agree with his view of decoupling capital investment from the fiscal rules as much as we can to get more flexibility. The problem is that we already have flexibility where we can smooth capital spend over a four year period. Does Professor Clinch believe it was a...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (15 Feb 2017)
David Cullinane: I wish to raise with the Taoiseach the clear need for him to give a definite commitment on the establishment of a commission of investigation into NAMA's Project Eagle loan sale.

He knows that committee was not allowed to, could not and did not examine allegations of criminality or...
